Regarding the previous announcement by the US government Starting from August 29, the exemption from duties on imported parcels valued at $800 (approximately 5730 RMB) or less will be suspended , recently, postal companies from several countries including South Korea, France, and Germany have announced restrictions on parcels sent to the United States.

Statistics show that this exemption originally applied to over 4 million parcels processed daily by the US Customs and Border Protection. In response, more and more national postal services plan to suspend parcel deliveries to the US as early as this week, citing the US authorities' lack of clear instructions on how tariffs will be imposed and how required data should be submitted.

This change not only affects individual shipments but also impacts e-commerce businesses targeting overseas consumers in multiple countries.

Policy Impact and Reactions

This policy change triggered a chain reaction among postal services worldwide, with many countries announcing suspensions of parcel shipments to the US.

Impact on E-commerce Businesses

This policy change affects not only individual shipments but also significantly impacts e-commerce businesses targeting overseas consumers in multiple countries. For example, in South Korea, many cross-border e-commerce businesses are small and medium-sized enterprises or individual operators, who are greatly affected by the US policy adjustment.

International Express Companies' Response

International Express Companies DHL Joined other European postal operators in imposing temporary restrictions on parcels sent to the US. In a statement, DHL accused that since President Trump signed the executive order, key issues such as tariff collection, data requirements, and data transmission remain unresolved.

Industry Concerns

"What is truly worrying is that the domino effect is falling and will trigger a chain reaction, with more and more postal companies announcing suspensions of parcel shipments to the US," said Kate Muth, Executive Director of the International Mail Advisory Group representing the US international mailing and transportation industry.

It should be explained that once the exemption period ends, US imported goods shipped by mail will be subject to equivalent tariffs on the value of each taxable parcel according to the tariff rates under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) applicable to the goods' country of origin.

Alternatively, parcels sent via international postal services may be charged a temporary fixed fee ranging from $80 to $200 per item, but this is limited to the next six months. 。 It is reported that carriers also need to provide information such as the number of parcels, country of origin, and product value, and submit worksheets and pay tariffs through a specific system.
